I have a 2010 XKR with 60k miles. It has been maintained immaculately. Recently the restricted power and check engine light came on and the car had the following symptoms.
1. Loss of power
2. Severe miss
3. White smoke from the exhaust that smells like raw fuel
The car made it the mile I had to drive it to get home. After further inspection the fluid levels are good, no leaks and all belts intact. When I removed the oil filler cap it smelled more like fuel than oil but the internals that were visible were clean. I ordered a OBD scanner and the following codes were present. PO302, PO304, PO306, PO308. It appears that one whole side of the engine has a misfire in all cylinders. Is there a common element in these cars that would cause this? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I apologize. Realized I likely posted in the wrong forum and once I copied it to the correct one I was having trouble deleting the old one. Thanks for your help.

 

Stuck Injector! Like, a 95% chance that it is.
I had mine do exactly this two years ago, and one injector was stuck open, which dumped raw fuel down that cylinder, which effectively starved the other three injectors on that side. The fuel smell in the oil is a big indicator.
The price for my repair was like $2000, but I also had all four on the affected bank replaced and all eight new spark plugs. Oh, and I also had the transmission pan dropped and replaced (my pan and fluid, took 9 quarts).

 

Would they all go bad at once or can one effect the pressure on the entire side?

 

I edited my post while you posted your question.

 

Defo all the even numbered cylinders, I would have said it was the catalytic convertor on the fritz of that side...but you've reported fuel smells and not rotten eggs.

So CJ is probably right and it's a stuck injector.

You can get the injectors new this side of the pond for around £100 each, one ebay listing stateside seems quite reasonable, they have 3 up for sale:

Just confirm with your dealer that part C2D45736 is right for your car

Also you might need the refitting kit part no C2D24387

My local mobile mechanic has quoted me £70 to remove and refit mine (I was sending them away for cleaning/calibration when I go on holiday in October) and using another car for the airport run.

PS: Google can be your friend too

 

Look on the bright side might not be to bad, had the same on mine . Problem was I let the tank run down real low got the same systems as you , Turned out to be 1 blocked injector no6 I'm sure , uplifted to garage injector took out and steeped over nite in a bucket off snake oil fitted back on car once tested , Cost £350 plus £100 for uplift
good luck

 

What Cee Jay said. It has happened to me twice with exactly the same symptoms and each time was the injectors. It is a reasonably common occurance with the 5.0L V8 as it has been reported on the F-type forum for the R model numerous times as well.

 

So I’ve seen the Bosch fuel injectors for around $100. What brand do you guys recommend?

 

What other brands are there?

 

It looks like this is going to be not that big of a deal. I have to think that the moment it happened it was basically gut wrenching.

 

Thanks for the help. It was a fuel injector.

 

I'm King Winner!
Care to share the costs incurred?

 

$1400 USD. Had all 4 on that side replaced and an oil change. They did try to talk me out of another $1100 on the other side to replace all of those also but I’m hoping this is a rare issue and declined. Of all the cars I’ve owned this is my first injector issue. Thanks for the help again.
